I didn't notice anything wrong with it. But if you check elsewhere on this forum you will find a suggested upgrade for the shock from another manufacturer which you may want to consider, as it is also lighter.

I test-rode that bike, but decided not to buy it. I think for a few hundred less it is a good deal. I don't have a problem with his 3D-printed clamp, it seems OK to me. I think those clamps are supposed to be tightened with a torque wrench.

Sorry, Jeff. The seat was just sold.

I have an almost-new (used once) Thor seat, Sport version, reinforced size Large available for sale. Comes with Ventisit cushion and head/neck rest. Originally purchased on this site, but I've sold my S30 and have no use for it now. $300 plus $10 for shipping in continental USA.

Right, even Oakland is a little far to drive. And it's pretty difficult to be in Bali at this time. On the other hand, if you are interested in a swap for my S30, we might work something out.

I just replaced my first-generation Wahoo KICKR with a Neo Tacx 2T. I am disappointed, but not entirely surprised, to find that my power is 10-15% lower than Wahoo was reporting. The first-generation KICKR's are known to have accuracy issues, and the Neo is reportedly pretty accurate, so I have...

Mine is available for sale, just send me a DM. It does have the long chainstays, though, so not suitable for you. Cost is $2,000, without wheels or pedals, not including shipping, price is firm. Location is SF Bay Area. SRAM Force and FSA components, some additional accessories. It has one long...

I believe that some people think it's kind of a cheat, taking advantage of the sticky draft characteristics. It doesn't bother me. I've tried it, but don't find it appealing. But I expect that in a TTT your team members might find it more difficult to match in the paceline...I don't know, since...

This is a fairly well-known tactic. Some frown on it, but you're also taking a risk of being at the rear when a breakaway splits off. It's not suitable for a TTT, but maybe for a big race with a big blob.

Just leave plenty of slack in the cables for now. Ride the bike for a while, until you are satisfied with the position. Then go in once and shorten the cables so that they look better.

I have also been out because of air quality. Maybe next week.

I have a 47.5" Xseam and long arms. I have the long chainstay, and I think that you definitely need that. Even so, it wasn't very easy finding the right position for the handlebars. Bringing them back far enough so that my thighs don't hit them means that the arms are far from extended the way...

I did the same race as @benphyr and @RojoRacing with 5 people in my B group after the selection. Times for Just the Loop were 13:35, 13:53, 14:24. I found the climb to be not to0 hard, averaging 3% grade with a couple of short breaks. I was able to stay with the lighter riders, and found the...

I've been at the same FTP for about 5 months. I'll admit, it's kind of frustrating. I was hoping that the training schedule I had was going to be enough to get me up to 4.0 w/kg, but it looks like it won't. I think after this TT series is over I'll need to switch into an interval program, since...

I have had a difficult time getting my Discord setup on my phone working. Last Thursday I had 3 sets of earbuds/mics, one wired and 2 wireless. None worked well. This week I'm switching to a USB headset running from my computer running Discord instead of the phone. Hopefully this will be the...
